Overview
- Chrissy Teigen announced on Instagram on June 10 that her father, Ronald “Ron” Teigen Sr., died suddenly after what began as a normal day.
- She shared a short home video of her father and wrote that she had recently handed him a letter expressing her gratitude for his role in her life.
- John Legend publicly offered condolences in the post’s comments and postponed shows in New Mexico and Arkansas to be home with his wife and children.
- Most reports say Ron was 73 and died days before his 74th birthday, while at least one outlet cited an age of 86, and that discrepancy remains unresolved in current coverage.
- Background details note Ron had been living in assisted living in recent years and had divorced Chrissy’s mother; no public funeral plans have been announced as the family mourns.
